Élysium Screens Edge|One SonicWeave 133"

A fixed projection screen designed to place speakers behind the projection surface. The SonicWeave 8K material, woven and acoustically transparent, lets sound pass through with a stated attenuation of only -0.5 dB. The aluminum frame, less than one centimeter thick, remains discreet on the wall. A configuration that reproduces the principle of professional movie theaters, where speakers are systematically concealed behind the screen.

Why place your speakers behind the screen

In a conventional home theater setup, the front speakers frame the screen or are positioned below it. This arrangement creates a spatial mismatch: dialogue and sound effects come from a different point than the visual action. Placing the speakers behind the screen physically aligns the sound source and the image.

The benefit is particularly noticeable with dialogue. When a character speaks on the left side of the frame, the sound truly emerges from that area. The center speaker, often the most important in a multichannel setup, can occupy its ideal position: at the geometric center of the screen, at eye level.

This approach also makes it possible to install a larger screen without sacrificing speaker placement. In a room with constrained dimensions, where every centimeter counts, that is a concrete advantage.

The SonicWeave 8K material: weaving and sound transparency

Acoustically transparent screen materials exist in two main forms: microperforated surfaces (PVC pierced with thousands of holes) and woven materials. SonicWeave belongs to this second category.

Weaving offers several advantages over perforation. It eliminates the risk of moiré, those unwanted patterns that appear when the structure of the material interferes with the pixel grid of the projector. On 4K and 8K content, where the information density is high, the absence of moiré is a decisive criterion.

The -0.5 dB sound attenuation indicated by Élysium Screens is low. By way of comparison, a difference of 1 dB is barely perceptible for most listeners. The material should therefore let frequencies pass through without noticeable coloration, from bass to treble. Performance in the high frequencies is generally the critical point for acoustic materials: treble, being more directional, is more easily absorbed. A low measurement in this range suggests good sound transparency.

The stated 4K and 8K compatibility is based on the fineness of the weave. The tighter the weave, the less visible it is at a normal viewing distance. Élysium Screens specifies that the image remains “ultra-detailed without rippling or defects,” which implies a sufficiently dense weave not to alter the rendering of high-resolution projections.

An aluminum frame less than one centimeter thick

Frame thickness is a parameter that is often overlooked. Yet it influences both the aesthetics and the integration of the screen into an interior. With a profile under one centimeter, the Edge|One is visually closer to a wall-mounted television than to bulky technical equipment.

The rigid aluminum structure guarantees the flatness of the material. A spring tensioning system maintains this flatness over time, preventing the ripples that sometimes appear on lower-quality screens after a few months of use.

The beveled, light-absorbing black borders play a dual role. They improve perceived contrast by creating a clear separation between the image and the surroundings. And they limit unwanted reflections that could affect image readability under optimal projection conditions.

Installation and setup

Élysium Screens states an assembly time of about 30 minutes, which is consistent with the fixed-frame design equipped with a spring tensioning system. This type of installation generally does not require specialized tools or advanced technical skills.

The wall-mounting system makes it possible to position the screen at the desired height. The illustrated manual provided should guide each step of assembly and mounting.

One point to note: the recommended flat storage. Woven materials can deform if stored rolled up for a prolonged period. Once installed, this is no longer an issue, but it is worth keeping in mind during transport or a possible move.
